Description:

The Essence of Bach heard at the Ruckaas in ColmarIt has been three and a half years since the last recording, "Inventions and Sinfonias. This time it is by Johannes, the second generation of the Luccaas family, who is known as the Stradivarius of harpsichord. After its production, it was exported to France, and after restoration in 1979, it was housed at the museum. Ieki's theory of Bach is based on his own philosophy. I have a personal feeling that Bach was an ordinary family man at first glance. He was married, financially active, devoted to his children's education, and took care of their employment. And yet, his music is of such a high level that it can be described as heavenly. I think this is because his own soul was at a tremendously high level. And it is still alive and growing all the time. So I have the feeling that I am communicating with Bach's soul through his music. (From Tsutomu Nasuda's liner notes) Regulus
